Hello all!
Thanks for reading the blog. Just a little info on what I, Ben Roush, will be discussing in it, at least for the next few weeks:
The importance of sustainability for the continued existence of human civilization will be the central theme. It is my belief that we can maintain advanced technological society while also respecting the integrity of the environment and managing resource use in a responsible manner. This ideal will be coupled with a few other topics.
First will be a personal sustainability project of mine. Namely, a stint of vegetarianism. I want to see how the lifestyle affects me on a day to day basis and how it may or may not change my outlook on what I am doing to ensure balance between humanity and the environment. I'll also be posting my thoughts on two books by Bill McKibben about the state of human interactions with the environment and the necessitity for a sustainable human future. And lastly, I'll be comparing and analyzing carbon foot print data between my apartment here in Kalamazoo and my Aunt Ginger's home in Interlochen, MI.
Once we get into May, I'll keep covering sustainability issues, but I'll probably throw some other political, cultural, and, quite frankly, completely random stuff at you too.
Cheers!
-BR
